ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A convicted killer has allegedly offered up to $20,000 to get someone to kill Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White, who is operating under special security precautions, including sometimes wearing a bulletproof vest.

Investigators say three men had been approached to carry out the plot, and police can't find one of them.
